I am Rev. Dr. Darrell Greenawalt (folks call me Pastor Darrell), I have been serving Saegertown UMC since 2012. I grew up attending Nixon UMC, south of Butler, where I graduated from Knoch HS. I earned a BFA in art history/photography from Ohio University, returning to WPA in 1989 after earning a MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL.Recently, I completed a DMin program in Pastoral Counseling at Ashland Theological Seminary, focusing on fatherhood.

My 29-year ministry career began at Jeanette: Gethsemane UMC. I later served Lander UMC, South Greensburg UMC and Girard/Lake City UMC’s before moving to Saegertown.

I married Sharon in 1998 and am the very proud father of four boys: Nathan, 28; Aaron, 26; Noah, 16, and Toby, 13.Our family enjoys hiking, biking and traveling.

During my ministry, I have served on the Sessions Ministry Team, the Superintendency Committee of the Greensburg District, the Erie-Meadville District Committee on Ministry, the Episcopacy Committee, and on the board of directors of EUMA (The Erie United Methodist Alliance).

Most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus Christ and desire to become more like Christ every day.As Romans 1:11-12 says I am anxious to spend time with the folks of Christ UMC that we may mutually encourage each other. May the Kingdom of God be advanced by the work we will do together!

Romans 1:11-12 NIV

“I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong---that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.”

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
